Republicans just can't seem to stop themselves from flinging about juvenile insults at every turn, can they? Anyone who looks like this guy, ought to keep his mouth shut about the way anyone else looks. Someone ought to tell wingnut "terror babies" Louie Gohmert that beauty is only skin deep, but that ugliness of his goes all the way to the bone.

An outspoken Republican congressman castigated House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi’s looks during a radio interview Friday.

Speaking with guest host Larry O’Connor on the Dennis Miller Show, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) argued that House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) was functionally equivalent to Pelosi because both held one-on-one backroom negotiations with the president. Gohmert then went on to deride Pelosi’s appearance: “Well, let’s give him credit. There’s no facelift with John Boehner.”

O’CONNOR: So basically John Boehner became Nancy Pelosi without the charm?

GOHMERT: For the last two years. Well, let’s give him credit. There’s no facelift with John Boehner. He is who he is.

O’CONNOR: Oh!

As the author at Think Progress noted, it's not the only outlandish statement to come out of Gohmert's mouth. As we've documented here as well, the list is quite long.

Someone forgot to tell him that Bush isn't POTUS any longer. Obama has no beef with Iran. He's actually treating them as equal players, which really pisses off the GOP, and Bibi. I say we stop all aid to Israel. That money is needed here at home. And GOP, if you do plan to start another war, we need a war tax to pay for it, and we need a draft. Good Luck with that.

Of course, none of the above ever happened, for the simple reason that neither the late Paul Wellstone nor his Democratic colleagues would ever have imagined providing a foreign leader with a Congressional stage to wage war against the sitting President of the United States. But on March 3, that is precisely what the Republican Party will do when it gives Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu the opportunity to not just insult President Obama, but to give war with Iran a chance.

It never would have happened because the Executive Branch is responsible for foreign policy and for the Legislative Branch to have done something like this, they would have been committing a criminal act. Too bad members of Congress are above the law..

It's true I think about that oil: Iran can let oil and natural gas flow through the Strait of Hormuz from the Persian Gulf, from points including Iraq which has the pipeline from the Caspian Sea. Israel has the Trans-Israel pipeline which can supply Europe. They don't want anyone cutting into their market.
